Post of the Day.

Best eulogy ever.

this...this is what's it's all about people. There are so many to thank. First off myself....I'll continue this later. I have some studying to do and my job is on the line.

When my family was talking about Paul Newman's death, I went to the fridge and found the bottle of Newman's Own salsa that we had and walked into the room holding it up and pretending to weep.

I do the same thing when I wear my Heath Ledger Joker shirt.

Once again, me: terrible person.

I'm going to try that next time I'm in the grocery store.

Michael Crichton.

 

[Volunteer Fire Detective]

He was one of my all-time favorite authors. It's so sad to think we'll never get any new books from him. He was a fantastic writer. :cry:

 

[Planet-man]

Jesus Christ.

I loved his stuff.... read Jurassic Park in 7th grade and it was one of the coolest books I've ever read and I already loved the movie so much, but it was better in a lot of ways. Read Congo the next year too and it was amazing too. My two best friends and I all read each of them at the same time and they became the source of years worth of huge running gags for us.

Did you guys know he was 6' 9" tall? I found that out a few years ago and was stunned...

Anyway, yeah.... he will be missed. One of the key sci-fi authors of our time.

She's a Socialist!

Actually a democratic socialist. It's an important distinction that doesn't necessarily make her less pro-socialist, but she's not necessarily anti-democratic either.

She's a Socialist!

She's also a male to female transsexual.

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry is not on board the Enterprise.

That's sad, she seemed to be one of the few creator-spouses in pop culture who don't happen to be legacy riding *****es.

At least her voice will still be in the new Star Trek.

 

[Bass]

It is sad.

 

[Void.M]

She's also a male to female transsexual.

She also voiced Meowth in The Pokemon anime.

She voiced a LOT of stuff, never realized she did several voices from the ex's favorite game series Shadow Hearts.
